Céline and Perathipan’s Multicultural Wedding at Manoir de Taillefer
Two souls united
Céline and Perathipan’s wedding was a magical day at Manoir de Taillefer in Montussan. It was a multicultural wedding that united two people from very different cultures who share a deep love for each other. Céline comes from our beautiful Bordeaux region. Perathipan was born in Sri Lanka and grew up in the Paris area before meeting his lovely fiancée. Two very different cultures, and yet so close at the same time...
I look back with great happiness on that wonderful day, full of unforgettable memories. When we first met, in 2017, I was struck straight away by their kindness, their smiles and their gentleness.
Getting ready for the big day
The preparations began at Céline’s parents’ home in Talence and at Perathipan’s parents’ home in Sadirac. Cyrielle Delas, a talented make-up artist I had recommended to them, created a beautiful look for the bride. I love her human qualities, but above all her talent as a make-up artist!
The civil ceremony took place in the pretty wedding hall of Sadirac town hall, and then everyone headed to Manoir de Taillefer, on the road to Libourne, for the party.
The celebration and reception at Manoir de Taillefer
Manoir de Taillefer was the perfect venue for Céline and Perathipan’s wedding. Its large reception hall, vast wooded grounds and rustic, elegant charm made it an ideal setting for their wedding day. The evening was full of emotion and laughter, with Indian dances performed by a professional troupe that dazzled every guest.
An unforgettable wedding
Céline and Perathipan created unforgettable memories for themselves and for all their guests. Their multicultural wedding was a celebration of love and unity across cultural differences, and Manoir de Taillefer in Montussan was the ideal setting for such a special day. I am happy to have witnessed their wedding, and I wish them every happiness in their life together. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the happy parents on the birth of their daughter.
